What's on TV Tonight?
1--What's on the box tonight, does anyone know?
2--Oh nothing much. There's Panorama at eight for
an hour.
1--Oh good.
2--And then there's the football at nine twenty-five.
I want to see that.
1--Oh not again! just a minute--what time does it
finish? The last part of that thriller's on the other
side at a quarter to eleven. I'd like to see that.
2--Well the football ends at eleven.
1--You'll have to miss the last fifteen minutes then.
2--You'll probably be asleep by then.
1--No I won't! At least your football doesn't clash
with the new. I always like that on at nine.
===================================

点45分另一个频道有那个惊险故事片的最后一集。我想看。
2--足球赛11点钟结束。
1--那么你就只好不看最后15分钟的球赛了。
